RED, WHITE AND BLUE CHEESECAKE BARS

Happy last day of school friends! Bye, bye routine and order and hello sleeping in and lazy summer days.  This month has been a blur with all the end of the year school activities and life stuff.

Tonight our oldest graduates from high school.  We are so proud of him for accomplishing this big milestone in his life.  He is just ready to mark high school off his list.

We are planning a fun open house for him this weekend.  Lots of food and desserts and friends to celebrate with were our only requirements.
Since we will probably have lots of leftovers from the party, I’m not sure what we will be doing for Memorial Day this year.

My guess is that we will be just relaxing in our backyard eating leftover Italian beef and Chocolate Cheesecake Pie Bites. After a busy weekend, that sounds like the perfect plan to me.
One of the desserts I was thinking about making for the party this weekend were these Rainbow Vanilla Cheesecake Bars. I love that they are so easy to customize for any party.  You can make your swirl of color match any party theme.

• 30 Oreo cookies
• 4 Tablespoons butter, melted
